Appeal for witnesses...

This does stink of Prentice to be fair.

That role requires a light touch, something that Prentice doesn't have. Everyone knows that short of the board being chased up Goodison Road with sticks you never turn on the fans.

As said, Myers could have sorted that out adroitly.

A statement of that significance concerning the board directly doesn't go out without board approval. No chance.

Unfortunately this is probably correct.

And in the confusion that has followed, the silence seems deliberate as well.

I dont think Prentice will have any inclination to try and bring the supporters back on side either, unfortunately.

Deffo Prentice's MO, this. He always had a touch of the weasel

I suspect he’s put out exactly what Kenwright wanted him to put out, as he usually does.

Well that's where character comes in: if you have character and stature as a communications man you can persuade others that the statement they want to make isn't judicious. Prentice is just made up to have the job.

Yes , it feels like a trap has been set.

But for whom? The fans or other board members

If this phantom headlocker has managed to get to the ceo in the directors box, assault her, then disappear without being stopped or even detected he’s got more pace, stealth and agility than anyone we put on the pitch.

Was it Frannie Jeffers, the fox in the box?

"I dunno Jeff, has there? I just thought it was the board deflecting crap onto their own fans!".

You put the 2 together. It was a little unusual, as this isnt anything like a typical DV case.

I didn’t specify any type of abuse, indeed I specified as wide a range as I could.

You strike me as the kind of person who won’t back down when they’ve made a series of incorrect assumptions, so I’m going to slip you on ignore for a while.

as well as the look and stench?

He probably only married his wife to be related to an Everton great.

Let's not lower the tone with personal, nasty comments blues. Some very unnecessary comments.

Keep it polite otherwise we lose credibility and respect as a community.

He'll do what he's told. The board should let the situation cool off and then address it. It will take a deft touch on communicating with our fans though.
